For singing, my favorite is “It Came Upon a Midnight Clear,” and for listening, my favorite is “Coventry Carol.”
My favorite secular song is “Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas,” the John Denver and Ralph the Dog version: youtu.be/8tvvNV3geqQ?...

Brady wasn’t a System QB. Bill was a System Coach. (The Brady System)
the more postgame comments (or lack of comments, just demeanor) of Belichick I see, the less I think he actually had to do with the NFL success

Just like the coach.
Haven’t had a real “give up game” from UNC since Clemson but this is it. Clear that a good chunk of them just don’t want to be out there.

It was a great Thanksgiving. Safe travel. Delicious food. Old and new faces around the table. Little talk of politics or religion, even among the like-minded. If anyone was drunk, it wasn’t evident.

Thanksgiving 2025 License Plate Results (vehicles must be in motion and no tractor trailers). It's not a great haul compared to a summer trip on I-95--a New Brunswick or PEI is not an unreasonable expectation then--but I'm very pleased with the sighting of two different Alaska plates!

Experience: I was stabbed in the back with a real knife while performing Julius Caesar
Our student theatre group had the bright idea of using actual knives on stage for authenticity. The blade missed my aorta by about a centimetre

28 plates
26 states
1 district (of Columbia)
1 province (Je me souviens!)
Had hoped for more provinces, but in the bright side, we saw 2 different cars with Alaska plates!
